Sardegna Arena

The Unipol Domus is the temporary but lively home of Cagliari Calcio. It has been in use since 2017 to allow for the rebuilding of the nearby old Sant'Elia, which had been deemed unfit for use. Built in record time (just four months), this modular ground holds 16,416 seats. Its rectangular, fully enclosed bowl is well suited to building atmosphere on matchday.

The stadium sits about 3 km from the centre of Cagliari, between the salt flats of Quartu and the Sardinian channel. It lies in the heart of the Sant'Elia district, a short walk from the Poetto and the Sella del Diavolo. The ground first went by the name Sardegna Arena, but in 2021 it took on the name Unipol Domus following a ten-year naming deal with the Italian insurance company.

Despite its temporary status, the stadium has seen upgrades. The west corners were added in 2018 to slightly raise capacity and improve the visual continuity of the stands.

The site is also home to the Cagliari 1920 History & Gallery museum, which opened in 2017. On display are trophies, shirts, photos and items spanning more than a century of rossoblù history, from the 1969-70 Scudetto to legendary figures of the Sardinian club such as Gigi Riva.

The museum can be combined with a full guided tour of the Unipol Domus. The tour takes visitors behind the scenes, from the museum to the dressing rooms and the press room, before reaching the edge of the pitch for a few souvenir photos.
